Police said the incident began when 20-year-old Parker Isaac Adams tried to jump into a picture with Brown and fans outside the W Hotel on 15th Street. Brown became angry and told the man, “I’m not into that gay ****” and “I feel like boxing.”

He then allegedly punched Adams in the face. Hollosy stepped in between the two men, and allegedly punched Parker in the face.

Police arrested Brown and his bodyguard, Chris Hollosy. Both men initially were charged with felony assault, but the charges were reduced to a misdemeanor by prosecutors.

At the time of the incident in downtown Washington, the Grammy Winning performer was still on probation for his 2009 attack of then-girlfriend pop star Rhianna.

A California judge revoked Brown’s probation but did not immediately send Brown to jail, instead allowed the Grammy-winner performer to continue his rehabilitation for anger management and substance abuse issues.

Brown has had other run-ins with the law, including a brawl in 2012 that erupted between his entourage and the rap artist Drakeat a New York City nightclub and a dispute in February with the singer Frank Ocean over a parking space in Los Angeles.
